    Default Changing a slide band reelseat to a uplocking.

    As some has seen I am selling a st croix legend ultra 4 weight new,the reason I found a 1998-2001 circa pre-ips legend ultra 2 PC 4 weight,the only problem it was made with a sliding ring not up locking like my 5 wt.
    How can I change it to a up lock,can you cut the back of the reel seat off just above the flared end with the metal buttcap and buy something like a bellinger 660 up lock hardware and fix it or will it need to be cut off at the front hood and the insert taken out .
